Ingredients
- Brownies
- 2 eggs (at room temperature)
- 3/4 cup or 150g of coconut sugar
- 1 tsp freeze dried coffee or coffee extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 3/4 cup or 80g of cacao powder
- 1/2 cup or 100g of coconut oil
- 2/3 cup or 100g of ground almonds
- 1/2 cup or 40g chopped pecan nuts
- Cookie Dough
- 1 3/4 cups or 200g ground almonds
- 1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
- small pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup or 70g melted coconut oil
- 1/3 cup or 100g of maple syrup
- 1 tbsp of vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup or 90g of dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C (fan oven). Grease and line an 8-inch square or round baking tin with baking paper.
Measure out the coconut oil needed for both the brownie base and the cookie dough topping. Place it in a small ovenproof bowl and put it in the oven to melt. Set aside to cool slightly.
To make the brownie base, beat the eggs, coconut sugar, coffee, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl until well combined. Measure out the cacao powder into a separate bowl and stir in the coconut oil (for the brownie portion). Add this to the egg mixture and mix until well combined. Fold in the ground almonds until fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared tin, smooth the top, and scatter the chopped pecans evenly over the top.
To make the cookie dough topping, mix the ground almonds, bicarbonate of soda, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Add the cooled coconut oil (for the cookie dough portion), maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and stir until well combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and arrowroot powder until you have a usable dough. Roll the dough into small balls, flatten them slightly, and arrange evenly over the brownie batter.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the top is set but still slightly soft in the centre.
Remove from the oven, cool completely at room temperature, then place in the fridge for 1 hour before cutting into squares or slices.
Serving Tips
Pairs well with our Moroccan Spiced Coffee or Peppermint Tea in a French Press.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the individual servings. Place them on a baking sheet, then when fully frozen, remove and place them in the container/bag for up to 3 months.

If you’re looking for a luxurious yet healthy treat, this Healthy Dubai Chocolate Bar is the perfect choice. Made with rich dark chocolate, pistachios, and tahini, this decadent dessert is dairy-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free, making it a guilt-free indulgence packed with anti-inflammatory benefits.
Unlike traditional chocolate bars loaded with processed ingredients, this recipe is designed with wellness in mind. Every ingredient offers unique anti-inflammatory health benefits.
Dark chocolate is a powerful source of antioxidants and is known to reduce inflammation and support heart health. Pistachios are nutrient-dense nuts that are rich in healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants, contributing to lower inflammation and improved digestion.
For those with dietary restrictions or anyone simply looking for a healthier chocolate fix, this Healthy Dubai Chocolate Bar is the perfect option. Since it contains no dairy, no gluten, and no refined sugar, it’s ideal for individuals following a plant-based, paleo, or anti-inflammatory diet.

Ingredients
- 5.3 oz or 150g of 70% dark chocolate
- 4.2oz or 120g of pistachio butter
- 2.5g or 70g of toasted flaked almonds
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water. Using large chocolate bar molds (approximately 14×25 cm and 2 cm deep), pour half of the melted chocolate into the mold. Using a spoon or silicone brush, spread the chocolate evenly across the bottom and sides of the mold. Keep the remaining chocolate in the bowl over the hot water, turning off the heat.
Place the mold in the fridge or freezer to allow the chocolate to set for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the pistachio filling. In a medium bowl, combine the toasted flaked almonds, pistachio paste, tahini, maple syrup, and sea salt. Mix well until combined.
Once the chocolate has set, remove the mold from the fridge or freezer and evenly spread the pistachio filling over the chocolate layer.
Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the filling, spreading it evenly with a spoon or brush to ensure it reaches the corners and fully covers the filling.
Return the mold to the freezer for at least 20 minutes or until set (an hour is even better).
Once firm, gently remove the chocolate bar from the mold and enjoy!
Serving Tips
This chocolate bar tastes great with the Women’s Calm Tea, Turmeric Shot, or Moroccan Spiced Coffee.
Storage Tips
This chocolate bar can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

These antioxidants help support heart health, reduce oxidative stress, and even support mood and brain function. It’s a decadent yet nourishing base for this bark.
Many store-bought chocolate treats are filled with dairy, gluten, refined sugars, and preservatives. This homemade nutty chocolate bark is completely dairy-free and gluten-free, making it suitable for people with food sensitivities or those following a plant-based, anti-inflammatory, or paleo diet.

Ingredients
- 5.3 oz or 150g of 70% dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup or 50g shelled pistachios
- 1/2 cup or 50g blanched almonds
- 1/2 cup or 50g pecan nuts
- 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
- One pinch sea salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 175C / 350 F (fan oven).
Place the pistachios, almonds, and pecans on a baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes. Watch that they do not burn or turn brown. Whenever you start smelling the aroma of roasted nuts, it is time to remove them from the oven.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Line a baking dish or tray with baking paper.
When ready, remove the nuts from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and then roughly chop them with a knife on a wooden chopping board.
Once the chocolate is melted, pour it over the baking tray and evenly spread it with a spatula. Sprinkle with chopped, roasted nuts, add the desiccated coconut, and add a good pinch of sea salt.
Let the bark cool to room temperature. Once it’s cool, you can break it into pieces and enjoy it.
Storage Tips
This recipe makes a great gift or a healthy treat. You can keep it in an airtight container for up to five days.
